The minimum detectable activity (MDA) value was derived according to the flow rate of the sample and degree of amplification of the device by sending the sample directly from the collection site to the detection part through a pump. This method can lead to reduction in time and cost compared to the existing measurement method that uses a pre-treatment process. In this study, experiments were conducted on $^3H$ and $^{90}Sr$, which are the major pure beta-emitting radionuclides, by setting the sample flow rate and the amplification gain as factors. The MDA values were derived according to the flow rates, considering that the flow rate can affect the MDA values. There were no change in the MDA under different flow rates of 0, 600, 800, and 1000 mL/min. Therefore, it was confirmed that the flow rate may not be considered when collecting samples for monitoring in actual field. As the degree of amplification of the amplifier increased, the time required to reach the target MDA decreased. When the amplification was quadrupled, the detection efficiency increased by approximately 23.4 times, and the time to reach the MDA decreased to approximately 1/550 times. This method offers the advantage of real-time on-site monitoring.

이동하는 베이스 노드를 가진 무선 센서 네트워크(WSN)에서 실시간 침입탐지를 위해서는 침입을 탐지한 센서로부터 베이스 노드까지의 정보 전달이 짧은 라우팅 경로를 통해 이루어져야 한다. 센서 네트워크에서 최소 Wiener수 신장트리(MWST)기반 라우팅 방법은 최소 신장트리(MST)기반 라우팅 방법에 비해 작은 홉 수를 보장하고 있어서 실시간 침입탐지에 적합함이 알려져 있다. 하지만 주어진 네트워크로부터 최소 Wiener 수 신장트리를 찾는 문제는 NP-hard이고 특정 노드에 대한 의존성이 커서 최소 신장 트리 기반 라우팅 방법에 비해 짧은 네트워크 수명을 갖는 단점이 있다. 본 논문은 실시간 침입탐지를 위해 최소 Wiener수 신장트리를 개선해 작은 홉 수와 긴 네트워크의 수명을 동시에 보장하는 라우팅 트리를 찾는 다목적 개미 군집 최적화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 그리고 제안한 라우팅 트리의 성능을 패킷의 평균 전송 홉 수 및 네트워크 전력 소모, 네트워크의 수명 측면에서 최소 신장트리기반 라우팅 방법 및 최소 Wiener수 신장트리기반 라우팅 방법과 비교한다.

We developed a compact gamma camera based on a modified uniformly redundant array coded aperture to investigate the position of a $UO_2$ pellet emitting characteristic X-rays (98.4 keV) and ${\gamma}-rays$ (185.7 keV). Experiments using an only-mask method and an antimask subtractive method were conducted, and the maximum-likelihood expectation maximization algorithm was used for image reconstruction. The images obtained via the antimask subtractive method were compared with those obtained using the only-mask method with regard to the signal-to-noise ratio. The reconstructed images of the antimask subtractive method were superior. The reconstructed images of the characteristic X-rays and the ${\gamma}-rays$ were combined with the obtained image using the optical camera. The combined images showed the precise position of the $UO_2$ pellet. According to the self-absorption ratios of the nuclear material and the minimum number of effective events for image reconstruction, we estimated the minimum detection time depending on the amount of nuclear material.

Remote fourier transform infrared(FTIR) chemical imaging detection system allows detection and identification of gases in the atmosphere from long distances. In this paper, the appropriate field of view(FOV) of the FTIR imaging system was examined and the main performance of the system for the interferometer was described. For the determination of the FOV, simulations of gas dispersion range were performed with the NBC reporting and modeling software(NBC-RAMS) developed by ADD. As a result, minimum 192 mrad of FOV was required for the remote FTIR imaging system to visualize chemical warfare agents dispersed in several hundred meters. At the same time, 0.75 mrad of instantaneous field of view(IFOV) for a linear interferometer proper to take a FOV for the chemical agent imaging.

This paper presents a fire detection algorithm with a minimal false detection rate, intended for a thermal imaging surveillance environment, whose properties vary depending on temporal conditions of day or night and environmental changes. This algorithm was designed to minimize the false detection alarm rate while ensuring a high detection rate, as required in fire detection applications. It was necessary to reduce false fire detections due to non-flame elements occurring when existing fixed threshold-based fire detection methods were applied. To this end, adaptive flame thresholds that varied depending on the characteristics of input images, as well as the center of gravity of the heat-source and hot-source regions, were analyzed in an attempt to minimize such non-flame elements in the phase of selecting flame candidate blocks. Also, to remove any false detection elements caused by camera shaking, one of the most frequently raised issues at outdoor sites, preliminary decision thresholds were adaptively set to the motion pixel ratio of input images to maximize the accuracy of the preliminary decision. Finally, in addition to the preliminary decision results, the texture correlation and intensity of the flame candidate blocks were averaged for a specific period of time and tested for their conformity with the fire decision conditions before making the final decision. To verify the fire detection performance of the proposed algorithm, a total of ten test videos were subjected to computer simulation. As a result, the fire detection accuracy of the proposed algorithm was determined to be 94.24%, with minimum false detection, demonstrating its improved performance and practicality compared to previous fixed threshold-based algorithms.

The simultaneous determination of anions ($SO_4 ^{2-},\;Cl^-,\;and\;NO_3^-$) and cations ($Na^+,\;NH^{4+},\;K^+,\;Mg^{2+},\;and\;Ca^{2+}$) in natural water obtained by Nakdong River waters system in Korea were performed by ion-exclusion/cationexchange chromatography with conductimetric detection. The stationary phase was a polymethacrylate-based weakly acidic cation-exchange resin column in the $H^+$-form and a weak-acid eluent. When using only a 1.4 mM sulfosalicylic acid/6 mM 18-crown-6 ether as an eluent, good resolution of both anions and cations, minimum time required for the separation, and satisfactory detection sensitivity were obtained in a reasonable time. The method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of anions and cations in natural waters.

This study measured and compared the variation of ventilation rate and fan energy consumption according to various control strategies after installing wireless sensor-based pilot ventilation system in order to verify the applicability of demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) strategy that was efficient ventilation control strategy for underground parking lot. The underground parking lot pilot ventilation system controlled the ventilation rate by directly or indirectly tracking the traffic load in real-time after sensing data, using vehicle detection sensors and carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) sensor. The ventilation system has operated for 9 hours per a day. It responded real-time data every 10 minutes, providing ventilation rate in conformance with the input traffic load or contaminant level at that time. A ventilation rate of pilot ventilation system can be controlled at 8 levels. The reason is that a ventilation unit consists of 8 high-speed nozzle jet fans. This study proposed vehicle detection sensor based demand-controlled ventilation (VDS-DCV) strategy that would accurately trace direct traffic load and CO sensor based demand-controlled ventilation (CO-DCV) strategy that would indirectly estimate traffic load through the concentration of contaminants. In order to apply DCV strategy based on real-time traffic load, the minimum required ventilation rate per a single vehicle was applied. It was derived through the design ventilation rate and total parking capacity in the underground parking lot. This is because current ventilation standard established per unit floor area or unit volume of the space made it difficult to apply DCV strategy according to the real-time variation of traffic load. According to the results in this study, two DCV strategies in the underground parking lot are considered to be a good alternative approach that satisfies both energy saving and healthy indoor environment in comparison with the conventional control strategies.

DVB-S2 (Digital Video Broadcasting-Satellite, Version 2) 위성방송 시스템은 채널 상태에 따라 적응적으로 구조가 가변되는 프레임을 전송하므로, 수신기의 초기 동기 획득 과정에서는 프레임의 시작점과 구조를 동시에 검출하는 과정이 요구된다. 또한 동기 획득을 위한 최저 동작 신호 대 잡음비가 매우 낮음으로 인해, 요구 성능을 만족시키기 위해서는 다수개의 프레임을 활용하는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 DVB-S2 신호 전송 시 다수개의 프레임을 활용하여 시간 동기와 구조를 동시에 검출하는 방식에 대해 검출 오율을 유도하고 성능을 평가한다. 특히 신호 상관 출력의 연판정과 경판정 값을 사용 시 성능 및 복잡도 변화를 평가하고, 최적 성능을 위한 동기 파라미터를 제시하며, 분석 결과를 모의실험을 통해 검증한다.

With the advent of autonomous ships, it is emerging as one of the very important issues not only to operate with a minimum crew or unmanned ships, but also to secure the safety of ships to prevent marine accidents. On-site inspection of the hull is mainly performed by the inspector's visual inspection, and video information is recorded using a small camera if necessary. However, due to the shortage of inspection personnel, time and space constraints, and the pandemic situation, the necessity of introducing an automated inspection system using artificial intelligence and remote inspection is becoming more important. Furthermore, research on hardware and software that enables the automated inspection system to operate normally even under the harsh environmental conditions of a ship is absolutely necessary. For automated inspection systems, it is important to review artificial intelligence technologies and equipment that can perform a variety of hull failure detection and classification. To address this, it is important to classify the hull failure. Based on various guidelines and expert opinions, we divided them into 6 types(Crack, Corrosion, Pitting, Deformation, Indent, Others). It was decided to apply object detection technology to cracks of hull failure. After that, YOLOv5 was decided as an artificial intelligence model suitable for survey and a common hull crack dataset was trained. Based on the performance results, it aims to present the possibility of applying artificial intelligence in the field by determining and testing the equipment required for survey.

변곡점 추출방법을 활용하여 AM-FM신호의 순간주파수를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 AM-FM신호의 국부적인 최대값/최소값을 변곡점 추출법을 활용하여 검출하며, 검출된 인접한 최대값/최소값 사이의 시간 간격을 계산하여 FM성분의 순간주파수를 추정한다. AM성분의 경우, 검출된 최소값/최대값의 포락선을 먼저 구하고 포락선의 최고값 간의 시간을 계산하여 순간주파수를 추정한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험으로 FM성분의 주파수가 고정된 경우와 변화하는 경우에 제안된 방법의 유용성을 검증한다. FM성분의 주파수가 일정한 AM-FM신호의 경우, 제안된 방법은 두 주파수 성분을 적절하게 추정한다. FM성분의 주파수가 변화하는 AM-FM신호의 경우, AM성분의 순간주파수는 적절히 추정되었으나 FM성분의 순간 주파수는 이론적인 주파수에서 편이되는 현상을 보인다. 이는 국소적인 최고점/최대점 검출로 표본수가 적어지는 효과에 따른 것으로, 저역통과 필터와 같은 후처리로 개선될 수 있다.
